Authorization concept
SAP systems: Control user authorizations with a concept
You will also notice that many tables have the table permission group &NC& assigned to them, and therefore differentiation over table permission groups over the S_TABU_DIS authorization object would not work at all. Furthermore, you cannot assign permissions to only individual tables in a table permission group using S_TABU_DIS. In such cases, the investigation shall continue: If the permission check on the S_TABU_DIS authorization object fails, the S_TABU_NAM authorization object is checked next. Allows you to explicitly grant access to tables by using the table name.
In addition, you must note that you may not execute this report on systems that are used as a user source for a Java system. This is due to the fact that a login to the Java system will only update the date of the last login to the ABAP system if a password-based login has taken place. Other Java system login modes do not update the date of the last ABAP system login.
Maintain permission values using trace evaluations
Configuration validation is a tool that allows systems to be tested against corporate or organisational requirements and regulations. You can find this tool in the Change Management section of the SAP Solution Manager. This allows you to evaluate security-relevant configurations and critical permissions. This is based on the SAP Solution Manager's Configuration and Change Database (CCDB), which stores all details about the configuration of the connected systems. The configuration data is stored in different configuration stores, depending on the type of configuration. You can evaluate the configuration of the operating system, the database, and profile parameters in the ABAP and Java systems. You will also get an overview of the status of transport orders and support packages. You can also track changes to the configurations of the attached systems in the CCDB. You can also graphically evaluate these changes via an end-to-end analysis in SAP BW; contains information on the number of changes per system, the type of changes and the modification date.
If you set the profile parameter dynamically, no users are logged out of the application server. You can prepare maintenance work in good time. The value 2 in the profile parameter does not prevent the login with the emergency user SAP*, if this is not set as user master record and the profile parameter login/no_automatic_user_sapstar is set to 0. You can also change the value of the parameter again at the operating system level. For details on the SAP user, see Tip 91, "Handling the default users and their initial passwords".
For the assignment of existing roles, regular authorization workflows require a certain minimum of turnaround time, and not every approver is available at every go-live. With "Shortcut for SAP systems" you have options to assign urgently needed authorizations anyway and to additionally secure your go-live.
The handling of the emergency user should also be specified in the authorization concept, which should be documented in writing.
The next step is to evaluate the usage data; here the monthly aggregates are typically sufficient.
